Chapter 243: Sun Ce's Bravery
In Jiaozhou in June, the extreme south of the Han Dynasty, the scorching sun is in the sky, and the hot summer is like fire.
Based on Nanhai County, which has been operating for most of the year, the Jiangdong Army marched directly westward to attack Cangwu County and Hepu County, that is, Guangdong and Guangxi in later generations, and in the face of the menacing Jiangdong soldiers, Zhang Jin, the assassin of Jiaozhou, had no choice but to negotiate peace with Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and then joined forces with the largest scholar family in Jiaozhou, gathered hundreds of thousands of Jiaozhou soldiers and horses, and tried their best to resist the invasion of the Jiangdong Army.
Cangwu County, Gaoyao County, this gateway city from Nanhai County to Cangwu County, three days ago, had been attacked by the Jiangdong Army for a day and a night, and it was taken strongly.
The camp of the Jiangdong Army, the camp of the Chinese Army.
The main general Sun Ce was dressed in a military uniform, his face was stern, he sat quietly, his burly body exuded a cold atmosphere, next to him was the general Han Dang, the military advisor Zhou Yu, sitting left and right, and dozens of captains and generals of the Jiangdong Army below were kneeling majestically.
There is a huge sand table in the middle of the camp, on which is the detailed terrain of Cangwu Hepu and the South China Sea, and the small red flags represent the areas occupied by the Jiangdong Army, and most of them are small blue flags, representing the Jiaozhou Army.
Not counting the county soldiers in various places, Jiangdong now has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, there are 50,000 in Liaodong, and the others are basically on the border of Jiangdong, there are many princes adjacent to Jiangdong, and the field of defense is also very large, Jingzhou, Jiujiang, Xuzhou, all need troops to defend, the 100,000 elite Jiangdong army led by Sun Ce is already the largest force used in Jiangdong today, half of which are Yuzhang elite soldiers trained by Pan Feng.
Gao Yao battled, knocked on the door of Cangwu, and now the army of Jiangdong has been spread all over the battlefield of Cangwu and Hepu, and the battle is about to break out.
"General, Gaoyao has been taken by us, and now that our Jiangdong Army and Jiaozhou's forces are in Linyun, Sihui and Fengyang, the three county towns, our main force, we should attack which one!"
After being silent for a while, a pioneer captain of the Jiangdong Army stood up, looked at Sun Ce with a warlike gaze, and asked respectfully.
"Capture the thief and capture the king, this battle, a certain decision, fight Cangwu to govern the city of Guangxin!"
Sun Ce stood up, looked at the small blue flags on the sand table, his eyes became murderous, and he said loudly: "Everyone, a certain family wants to defeat Zhang Jin's backbone in a battle, take the largest county in Jiaozhou, and lay the foundation for the victory of this battle." ”
"Guangxin?"
The generals looked a little frightened, the terrain of Jiaozhou is steep, if you want to cross Guangxin from Gaoyao, the cavalry will take three days at the earliest, and it is not a good idea to sneak attack Guangxin.
"General Han, you will lead 10,000 troops to fight Linyun." However, Sun Ce didn't give them time to object, and directly started to point out.
"No!"
Han Dang is a veteran under Sun Jian, although Sun Jian let Sun Ce take charge alone, but after all, the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, so he is still a stable veteran left by Sun Ce's side.
"Gong Jin, you lead 20,000 troops, bypass Linyun, attack Gao Liang, and take Hepu on all fronts." Sun Ce squinted, and a sparkle of battle intent burst out from his eyes, and said.
"Yes!" When Zhou Yu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly regained his calm expression and nodded.
"The other troops, go all out to attack Duanxi, Linhe, and Fengyang, and form a phenomenon for Zhang Jin and Shixie that the Jiangdong Army is attacking all parts of Cangwu in an all-round way, and then cover our cavalry to raid Cangwu's lair, Guangxin."
"No!"
The generals looked at each other and bowed their heads.
"Within a month, a certain must take Cangwu and Hepu, Sun Ce respectfully asks all the generals to encourage and raise the prestige of Jiangdong!"
Sun Ce's body exuded a touch of confident arrogance, and the thick battle intent exuded from his eyes was in the big tent.
"We will fight to the death!"
Although the generals felt that Sun Ce's strategy was obviously a little impatient, Sun Ce's courageous spirit at any cost could drive the blood in their hearts and make them unable to resist.
Soldiers, as long as they go to the battlefield, the blood is hot.
"Go down and prepare!"
Sun Ce waved his hand, said cleanly, and then one by one the generals bowed and saluted, and began to rush out, leaving the Chinese army's big tent, and began to prepare for the fierce battle against Cangwu and Hepu.
"Bo Fu, are you a little too anxious in this battle?" Zhou Yu's eyes watched all the generals walk out, then he got up, walked up, looked at Sun Ce with a somewhat complicated expression, and admonished in a low voice, and said: "Although Zhang Jin doesn't have much ability, but Jiaozhou is rich in land and resources, and there may not be no talents, through the intelligence of Guò Jinyiwei, you should know that Shi Xie is not a simple person, now Shi Xie and Zhang Jin have joined forces, Guangxin This place must have heavy troops, if this battle is detected in advance by the people of Jiaozhou, your cavalry will be dangerous." ”
Just now he didn't speak out against Sun Ce's majesty that he had just erected in the army, but he didn't agree with Sun Ce's adventurous style in his heart.
One of the reasons why Sun Jian was willing to let Sun Ce take charge of the Battle of Jiaozhou was that the Battle of Jiaozhou, as long as it was fought steadily, in fact, the victory had already been in Jiangdong.
A battle, not only soldiers and horses, but also logistics, Jiaozhou's logistics, can not consume today's Jiangdong, today's Jiangdong is not only in Wu County and Danyang accumulated a lot of grain and grass, but also Yizhou, a big granary, even if it is the battle of Jiaozhou, it will take several years, it can be resisted.
But the economy and agriculture of Jiaozhou, Zhang Jin and they only need to fight for three months, and they will collapse on their own.
"Gong Jin, if you fight a war, you have to take risks, fight Guangxin, we can understand Zhang Jin in advance, as soon as Zhang Jin falls, Shixie alone will not be able to hold Jiaozhou, if the battle can be ended one day earlier, Jiangdong will die a few fewer soldiers, Jiaozhou may have talents, but I don't believe that I can block a certain overlord iron horse!"
Sun Ce took a deep breath, his expression was very calm, without the mania just now, careful analysis, a battle in Liaodong appeared in his eyes, was that battle so difficult not to take risks? It's too risky, but in the end, isn't it still the lowest price to win the entire Liaodong?
The battle of Liaodong was basically supported by Sun Quan from beginning to end, and this battle was fought beautifully, he was a little ashamed, and he wanted to prove that he could not be worse than Sun Quan, so he had to play more perfect than Sun Quan in the battle of Jiaozhou.
"Bo Fu, so be it, I don't object to you fighting Guangxin, but the troops under my command will not attack Hepu first, and directly concentrate on Guangxin, so that although the time to capture Hepu is delayed a little, at least it will be guaranteed in the battle of Cangwu, and I can't watch you take risks."
Zhou Yu groaned, feeling that he was still a little more insured, Sun Ce was a little manic now, and he had no normal heart, so it was difficult to guarantee that he would not capsize in the gutter.
"That's fine!"
Sun Ce knew that this was Zhou Yu's biggest concession, so he did not object.
"Bo Fu, Gao is going to fight, and those martial arts students in the martial arts hall are good."
Zhou Yu remembered in his mind the battle to seize the high point of entering the Cangwu Portal, his eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, smiled, and said: "I marked out, there are a few who can focus on cultivating, and he will definitely become a pillar general of Jiangdong one day." ”
Sun Ce handed over the first battle of Gaoyao to basically two soldiers and horses formed by martial arts students who came out of the martial arts hall, and this battle was fought very smoothly, with only 300 casualties, 3,000 killed, and 2,000 captured.
"Chen Wu, this is a rare fierce general, this person is as brave as a tiger, strong in martial arts, led by a tun of soldiers and horses, he knocked on the gate of the high east city, and he can be promoted to a military candidate!"
"Lu Meng, this young man looks a little stunned, decent, his marching method seems to be too stable, but he can surprise when supporting the city gate, a three-way virtual soldier, a changeable style, a genius."
"Chang Shan, the fighter he grasps is very good, his style is like a leopard, a typical long-range attack general, and he can be trained into a cavalry general!"
"Jiang Hong......"
"Zhu Heng ......"
Zhou Yu naturally knew that Sun Ce forcibly transferred these martial arts students from the lecture martial arts hall in order to cultivate his own lineage in the army, so he attached great importance to these students, and sent guards to keep an eye on their cousins, record their affairs in the middle of the war, and analyze them.
Sun Ce looked at the record document in Zhou Yu's hand with a somewhat complicated gaze, and finally sighed with joy or jealousy, and said: "I have to say that when Zhongmou built a martial arts hall in Jiangdong and cultivated soldiers, it was right, these martial arts students have basically learned the art of war, and their martial arts are good, although it is the first time to go to the battlefield, but their collective expression Xiàn, let me be surprised, if they let them accumulate enough experience on the battlefield, they can definitely give the entire Jiangdong a surprise." ”
"You see, the third son's results are also good, and this battle can be regarded as a new one, killing the general who guarded the high and important towns, and winning the first merit of the battle of the high points." Zhou Yu smiled slightly, diverting this heavy topic, he found that since Sun Ce returned to Jiangdong from Liaodong, he had become more and more competitive with Sun Quan.
"The third?" Sun Ce shook his head.
Sun Yi is also the first batch of martial arts students in Jiangdong Martial Arts Hall, and his martial arts have won the inheritance of Sun Ce, and this time he also fought in Jiaozhou with Sun Ce.
"He, it's far away, his martial arts are not bad, but his personality is too impatient, he learns the art of war, and if he doesn't know how to use the art of war, it is difficult to become a big weapon, if I hadn't sent him a few fierce generals to protect him, he would have fallen to the ground."
Sun Ce remembered that his martial arts and personality were similar to his younger brother, shook his head, stared at the outside of the big tent, a little distant, and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about them, now it's just the first battle, and those who can survive until the end of the Jiaozhou campaign can be regarded as outstanding talents, let's talk about Jingzhou, I'm afraid that Zhang Jin won't be able to bear it, and directly introduce Liu Biao into Jiaozhou, and then the battle of Jiaozhou will become Jiangdong and Jingzhou fighting, with the strength of Jiangdong and Jingzhou, it will inevitably be a stalemate." ”
"You can rest assured about this, yesterday Jinyiwei came with news, Jingzhou Liu Biao did send troops, and there are still a lot of troops, but not in Jiaozhou."
Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with a gleam, and said: "The Jiangxia they are concentrated in should want to fight Chaisang, attack Lujiang Yuzhang, and go straight to the hinterland of Jiangdong, even if they can't beat Jiangdong, they can also encircle Wei to save Zhao and force Jiangdong to retreat." ”
"Hehe, if that's the case, then they've miscalculated."
The corners of Sun Ce's mouth outlined a cold smile, and said: "It is not Jiang Qin who is suppressing Chaisang now, but Pan Feng, the first fierce general in Jiangdong, the unparalleled admiral in Jiangdong, and 20,000 navies, plus the 20,000 elite soldiers and horses under his command, even the people who dare not touch the son, as far as they are, it is difficult not to touch the wall." ”
Since Pan Feng joined Jiangdong, he has not fought many battles, and the biggest battle is to seize the South China Sea, but he trained Jiangdong twice, and trained the Huiji and Yuzhang soldiers to be comparable to Jiangdong's elite soldiers and horses, and his prestige in the army, except for the lord Sun Jian, even Sun Ce could not reach.
Moreover, Pan Feng's martial arts are becoming more and more sophisticated, and he is a step stronger than Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger who is now enjoying peace, and he is still pressed on Sun Ce, who has not been breaking through for a long time, and is known as the first fierce general in Jiangdong.
Sun Ce asked himself if he had the ability to fight him, but he did not overcome his confidence.
"Hmm!"
Zhou Yu nodded, smiled, and said: "I think so too, with General Pan in Chaisang, we can capture Jiaozhou with peace of mind, as long as Cangwu is taken, Jingzhou soldiers will not have the ability to enter Jiaozhou." ”
"Gongjin, what about our navy?" Sun Ce narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Now the Tiger Fleet and the newly established Flying Tiger Fleet, two fleets, gathering 20,000 navies, have now arrived in the South China Sea, and will attack Qiongya in the near future, Rinan, we have arranged men and horses in the area of Qiongya and Rinan, which is a bit of a foundation, as long as we can take Cangwu and Hepu, the navy can copy their lair, and Jiaozhou can be leveled."
Zhou Yu's eyes burst with a confident and bright light.
"Okay, Dingjiaozhou, start with Guangxin!" Sun Ce slapped his palm on the sand table, and his expression showed a strong battle intent: "This time, we must take Guangxin, whoever comes to stop me, I will kill him!" ”
